“Nursing Is Our Mission” – Celebrating Nurses Everywhere

Every year, healthcare organizations across the nation recognize nurses during National Nurses Week, May 6-12.

Mission Health is honored to take part in this observance week and bring awareness to the impact our nurses have on the people in our community with celebrations all week long – starting with this special video tribute featuring Mission Health nurses and nurse leaders.

“Ours is so much more than a profession. It’s a calling. It’s our life’s work. It’s an honor and a privilege. It inspires us to learn from experience, to reach higher, to do more. Nursing is our mission.”

Our 3,200 nursing professionals across Mission Health dedicate themselves day in and day out to fostering health and healing in all of its dimensions for the people of western North Carolina. Nurses are relentless advocates for our patients and our communities. With their unique skillset combined with continued education and their innate compassion, they are essential members of our care teams.

Few professions have the honor and privilege, as nurses do, of supporting the whole person. From moments of the most profound joy to the deepest sorrow, nurses share these life-changing and unforgettable moments, and every moment in between, with our patients and their loved ones.

Our talented and compassionate nursing teams demonstrate every day that nursing truly is our mission. We are proud to recognize our nursing professionals and the way they change the lives of our friends, family and neighbors.
